Marching Band
Marching band is an extracurricular organization where students can unlock their musical talent and enjoy performing with their peers on the field. Students will learn to play an instrument of their choice and how to properly march on a field. The major events the band will play for include Friday football games and the four Harrison parades. These include Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Homecoming, and the Winter Holiday parade. Outside of this, each member will learn how to march with and play special show music which will be performed at halftime during games, and at competitions which will occur at other hosting schools. According to the band director, Mr. Egan, the best part of joining this activity is learning to play an instrument and getting to show off your talent in front of family members and peers. Bussing is provided for all marching band members both to competitions and to away football games.
The ensemble meets every Monday from 5:30 until 8:00, and Wednesday from 4:30 until 6:30. Band camp and other required rehearsals that take place over the summer will be listed in a schedule contained in every sign up packet. Sign ups for the next season start in late February and early March. Students are accepted until the end of the school year before the next season. The average cost is 100 to 170 dollars.
